Routes Through Calculation

Written and mental calculations ( go hand in hand)

              CPA concrete Pictorial Abstract

Routes through Calculation

 Mental is not just doing the written method in your head.
 Mental calculations can also involve jottings / drawings/
  numberlines.
 Written calculations involve the more formal recording.

Please refer to two documents on our website
 Parents handbook 2018
 Progression in calculation – Concrete Pictorial Abstract

Mental calculations
     addition and subtraction

 Number bonds / facts
 Strategies
Rounding and adjusting 230 – 98 = 230 – 100+2 =
Counting on 230 – 227
Near multiples 25 + 27 = 25 + 25 + 2
Partitioning 230 – 67 = 230 – 60 – 7

Mental calculations
    Multiplication and Division
 Times tables and related division facts
 Strategies
Multiplying and dividing by 10 100 1000
        1.5 x 10 ? Do you just add a zero?
Using factors
x 8 = x2 x2 x2 ÷8 = ÷2 ÷2 ÷2
X16 = x 8 x 2      ÷16 = ÷8 ÷2
X 25 = x 100 ÷4 , x 50 = x 100 ÷2 or x 5 x 10
Partitioning
8 x 5 = ( 4 x 5 ) + (4 x 5)
18 x 5 = (10 x 5)+ (8 x 5)

Written Calculations

Estimate by rounding to nearest 10, 100 ,1000 and use
the estimation to check the reasonableness of the
answer.

Addition

Subtraction

Multiplication
Grid method

Three digit by one digit
Three two digit by two digit
         decimals

Multiplication
expanded formal – short compact
           method

Long multiplication

Division

                  Sharing and grouping
   I have 24 cakes to share between 6 people how many
    can they have each?
   How many plates of 6 cakes can I make if there are 24
    people?
                  Context – rounding up or down
   15 people are travelling to the theatre. How many cars
    will I need if each car can take 4 people ?
   15 people are travelling to the theatre? How many full
    cars will there be if each car can take 4 people?

Division

Practical activities engaging the children in problem
          solving rather than just recalling of facts.

   Fractions
   Would you rather have ¾ or 5/8 of the bar of chocolate? Why?
   Time (reading a timetable)
   Which train would I need to catch to be in Dorridge at 17:50? Why
   Measurement inc imperial measures
   Estimation : What is the approximate weight of an apple?
                       5g        50g     500g

 Reading / spelling and understanding of mathematical vocabulary.
